Huge thanks for getting out of the way of Smicer's shot. So close!

It's in the General Football and Sport Board. But you are right, I would far rather talk about squeaky accelerator pedals. Have you checked whether anyone has superglued a mouse under it?

He could make Carrol look like a superstar!

themightybeard · « **Reply #7 on:** February 19, 2013, 09:34:02 am »

We all have a player that we're fond of despite them not being that good, and he is mine. He's had an odd career really - very promising with Banik and a ridiculously good international game/goal ratio, then started well with us but turned out to be very inconsistent, and after that he kinda went nowhere. I haven't seen much of him in the last 5 years apart from that spell at Portsmouth and Euro 2012, where he looked hopeless. Still, I liked him. I don't know why, I just did.

BarryCrocker · « **Reply #8 on:** February 19, 2013, 09:34:57 am »

Is he still going to make those Youtube videos on our players for all of us on here?

His little pass to Gerrard in the final earned us the penalty, so I will always have a soft spot for him. And also because of his brilliant performance against Crystal Palace, which was one of the few matches I've attended.

Swright90 · « **Reply #10 on:** February 19, 2013, 09:52:31 am »

He could have been a star, if he ever just lifted his bloody head up!

El Lobo · « **Reply #11 on:** February 19, 2013, 09:55:32 am »

I loved Baros. Scored, and was involved in, some vital goals for us in the run to Istanbul.

Didnt he have a really good record at Gala, or am I dreaming that? I know he flopped at Pompey and Villa, but I genuinely think he wasn't arsed playing for anyone else in England.

MidwestWool · « **Reply #12 on:** February 19, 2013, 09:56:21 am »

And let's not forget it was him who created the chance for King Luis' goal against Chelsea in the semis!

He was our only fit striker for a lot of that Autumn after Cisse broke his leg (until he did his hamstrings too!) and was important to us throughout that run. Good pace and movement but one of those head down dribblers who'd just as likely end up at the corner flag as in the box.

When he burst on the scene I thought he was going to be a star though. Was it 2 on his full debut at Bolton, then goals against Basle and West brom (I think). He looked a natural goalscorer.

theredguy03 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 19, 2013, 10:27:50 am »

First heard of Milan when he scored against Bolton in 2002.

Wish he stayed at the club a little longer, apart from that injury against Blackburn and his Euro 2004 exploits he hasn't quite been the same player in my eyes.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #15 on:** February 19, 2013, 11:17:16 am »

The ostraven maradonna he was nicknamed...

Wasn't quite that good somehow!

astrid · « **Reply #16 on:** February 19, 2013, 09:10:17 pm »

Before the 04/05 season, I thought we were going to have an unreal strikeforce in Cissé and Baros. Baros was topscorer at the european championship 2004, and Cissé was our record signing at that time. They were gonna tear the league apart! How wrong I was..

planet-terror · « **Reply #17 on:** February 19, 2013, 09:43:30 pm »

Had a fiver on him going to BOTOFAGO.

And for the back heel to Gerrard

oojason · « **Reply #19 on:** February 20, 2013, 12:00:08 am »

Always makes me smile when I think of Baros - not only for helping us win no. 5 - but for also making me £300 as top scorer in Euro 2004 for the Czechs (stupid odds by the bookies - think a few of us on here did well out of it at the time

)

If someone had put a corner flag behind the goal he'd been lethal - he was always successful in running the ball down a blind alley to the corner flag...

Hope he does well there.

I remember his charging goal v Basel in a 1-1 at Anfield in the Champions League and thinking he was going to be a world beater. How wrong I was, although I was only about 10 at the time.
I remember he was linked to Real Madrid in 2004 after he joint top scored at the Euros with four goals for the Czech Republic.

I had that bet too!

Ahh could of been a star for us if only we had made him wear a neck brace when he played.

LFCDad · « **Reply #25 on:** February 21, 2013, 10:43:41 am »

He's had a good career, will remember him fondly for that one CL campaign, in fact i'm sure many professional players would kill to have had a 12 months like head down Milan Baros did, top scoring in a European Championships and then ending it off with winning Big Ears in one of the greatest ever cup finals.

Hazell · « **Reply #26 on:** February 21, 2013, 10:44:39 am »

Loved his goal against Monaco in 2004.

He scored a hattrick against us 2 summers ago

Will always appreciate him jumping back from Smicer's shot in Istanbul.

Hope it isn't the end for him.

The Playmaker · « **Reply #31 on:** January 12, 2014, 09:23:11 pm »

I hope not. I wish him well and hopefully he can find another club or take on another role within football. Good luck Milan!

Mark Walters · « **Reply #32 on:** January 12, 2014, 09:57:04 pm »

He's only 32. No reason why he can't recover in time for next season and find a club if he wants to continue playing.

Desi Kopite · « **Reply #33 on:** January 13, 2014, 11:42:45 am »

Scored the hattrick against Palace on the day when my eldest was born (she was born an hour after that match). Remember it like it was yesterday.

Injuries have stopped much younger careers.

I remember somebody off here commenting at the time that he must have had a corner flag on his bonnet. Nearly pissed myself laughing.

AndyMuller · « **Reply #39 on:** January 13, 2014, 07:36:42 pm »

I thought he was going to be a goal machine when first hit the scene, then I realised he never ever looked up.
